I got a special request to re-post this little video recently…

This is my video answer to Faded-Jeans question about having her phone stolen in church!

This question came in from thedrcandme, and I thought it would be fun to do an audio answer to this question, so click play to hear the response.

Hey Unka Glen!
I’m doing my exams at the moment and a few questions come to mind. Firstly, can you ask God for intelligence? Secondly, what if God’s plan is actually for me to fail my exams, leave university and move to.. the forests..and evangelise? Or something crazy like that lol. And lastly… What if exams are just not your strength… can you ask God for exam talents.. i.e being able to write faster lol I never seem to have enough time! Looking forward to hear what you think :D

I’m trying out some audio answers, let me know what you think!

• You said: My friends and I started admitting the other day that we like our Bible study time with each other, more than we like church. So someone said, "why don't we just start our own house church"? The thought kinda scared me, but I really loved it at the same time. Is this a bad idea, or what? - Anonymous
• I said:

  I think this is an awesome idea. Having said that, know that you’re asking a certain type of dude. I’m used to trying to do church by preaching chapel services everywhere from prisons, to professional sports teams locker rooms, to drug rehabs. And I’m gonna tell you something about all that: down at the jailhouse, we get more church to break out than most churches dare to dream of.
  
  So, cleaning out the ol’ hard drive of some of my old talks, I ran across this this little 2 minute story and I think it explains where I’m coming from:
  
  
  
  So yeah, I say go for it. Now, for sure, you want to look at being on-target doctrinally, and that’s worth working out. For sure having a time of worship is something you’ll want to develop, that’s key for pushing the reset button on the week. And the fellowship piece is already there, so no worries. What you’re probably worried about is the pastoral role. Here’s the thing on that, most churches have a preacher, not many have a pastor.
  
  By that I mean someone stands up and preaches, but the word “pastor” implies shepherding. If your pastor doesn’t know your first name, he’s probably not shepherding you. Now you might have someone else that’s acting as a spiritual mentor, or coach, or what have you, and that person is essentially pastoring you, which is fine. But being discipled, in this group or out of it, is really important. Make no mistake, many Christians have never had an individual work with them on a one-on-one basis over time to develop their walk. If you’re getting discipled, while worshipping and fellowshipping in a doctrinally sound environment, then you’re as legit as they come, and doing better than most.

You’ve been asking about our ministry, and I just remembered this short video we put together for people to serve as host teams (bringing food and greeting people) at our BRIDGE service, designed to plug ex-cons, addicts, and gang-bangers into the local church.

Anyway it’ll give you an idea of what the service looks like.
